The first of many inspections will be conducted today Nov 28. The county will come out and verify that the foundation forms are proper, that the foundation is set back from the wetlands (Bufflehead Pond) by the required 30 feet, and that it meets the other specifications of the site plan.
The contractor and his team were out there during our very nice weather Tuesday and Wednesday installing the rebar, and building the final forms for the piers and supports that will hold up the house and the deck. Assuming the foundation inspection goes OK they will pour the concrete into the forms on Thursday.
The box forms will be the supports for the front entrance and beam support columns

These are the forms for the deck and the dining room
Wow... exciting times, eh, Bruce? This will be fun to watch take shape over the winter/spring. Outside the dates of Dec 20-30, give me a shout if you need an extra set of hands (but I don't have any waders, just rubber boots - so not volunteering for any 'pool' work!).
